"COPD Clinical Perspectives" ed. by Ralph J. Panos
InTAvE | 2014 | ISBN: 953511624X 9789535116240 | 206 pages | PDF | 12 MB

This volume is dedicated to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) - an increasingly recognized cause of morbidity and mortality. This volume brings together an international group of experts in COPD to provide in depth reviews of clinical perspectives into COPD.
Over the next 10 years, deaths due to COPD are expected to increase by 30% and, by 2030, COPD is estimated to be the third leading cause of death worldwide. 
Research into the pathophysiology and management of COPD over the past decade has progressed immensely with greater understanding of the global burden of COPD, its pathophysiology, better understanding of the multisystemic manifestations of COPD, and, most importantly, novel and more effective therapeutic strategies. 

Topics range from the diagnosis of airflow limitation by spirometry; distinguishing COPD from another common obstructive lung disease, asthma; alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency and opportunities to diagnose this most common hereditary cause of COPD and as a paradigm for the development of novel therapeutics; the overlap syndrome - the concurrence of two epidemic disorders: COPD and obstructive sleep apnea; and pulmonary rehabilitation, one of the most effective treatments for COPD. 

Contents
Preface
1 Airflow Limitation and Spirometry
2 Asthma and COPD - Overlapping Disorders or Distinct Processes?
3 Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency - A Missed Opportunity in COPD?
4 Antiproteases as Therapeutics to Target Inflammation in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
5 Sleep and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease - the Role of Oxidative Stress in Overlap Syndrome

Intravascular Imaging: Current Applications and Research Developments

Intravascular Imaging: Current Applications and Research Developments

Intravascular Imaging: Current Applications and Research Developments by Vasilios D. Tsakanikas, Lampros K. Michalis, Dimitrios I. Fotiadis and Katerina K. Naka
English | 2011 | ISBN: 1613500955 | ISBN-13: 9781613500958 | 478 pages | PDF | 9 MB

Limitations of angiography, the traditional invasive method for assessing vascular pathology, have led to an interest in alternative invasive techniques that visualize the arterial wall and allow characterization of plaque type.
These alternative techniques, which include intravascular ultrasound, angioscopy, thermography, optical coherence tomography, near infrared spectroscopy, and intravascular magnetic resonance imaging are able to provide valuable information regarding plaque vulnerability, the composition of plaque, and luminal morphology.

Intravascular Imaging: Current Applications and Research Developments presents all available intravascular imaging techniques and analyzes their impact in clinical practice and research. This publication aims to inform medical specialists, biomedical engineers, bioinfomaticians, and researchers of current developments and future trends in intravascular imaging techniques, promoting continued evolution of this discipline.

Oxford Desk Reference: Respiratory Medicine

Nick Maskell and Ann Millar, "Oxford Desk Reference: Respiratory Medicine" 
English | ISBN: 0199239126 | 2009 | 496 pages | PDF | 9 MB 



In the era of evidence-based medicine, clinicians draw upon a vast resource of research-based evidence to guide their practice. However, finding this information is not always easy, particularly when it is most needed. In the case of respiratory medicine which covers more than 40 individual conditions, the research-based evidence may be limited and/or disproportionate to the incidence of the condition. Guidelines are available but difficult and time consuming to find. 

This book is designed to overcome this problem. Many of the key recommendations to be found in current evidence-based guidelines are presented in a uniform and accessible format. The same format has been used for expert opinion on best practice where the evidence base is limited. The design of this book makes locating the information needed both quick and simple, and the succinct yet easy-to-read nature of the text means that key points can be reviewed and assimilated rapidly. The text is enhanced by a number of summary boxes and tables for quick reference to the key points covered in the narrative. A large number of these sections also have radiological images illustrating the relevant abnormalities. Written by experts in their field, this book presents a succinct overview based on both best practice and available research evidence.

Jonathan Barratt, Kevin Harris and Peter Topham, "Oxford Desk Reference: Nephrology" 
English | ISBN: 0199229562 | 2008 | 776 pages | PDF | 10 MB 



In this era of evidence-based medicine, one of the biggest challenges confronting clinicians is keeping abreast with often rapidly changing recommendations that guide clinical practice. While it is clearly helpful to have research-based guidelines and protocols to draw upon, it is not always easy to access this information particularly at the time when it is needed most, such as on a ward round or in a busy outpatient clinic. These evidence-based guidelines, produced by national organisations (The Renal Association, British Hypertension Society, National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) and international organisations (International Society of Nephrology, National Kidney Federation- KDOQI) are often found in a variety of locations and published media and therefore timely access is not always possible. 

This desk reference is designed to overcome this problem. The editors have produced a comprehensive summary of nephrology which focuses on aspects of renal disease that are important to the clinician, and have brought together the key recommendations found in current evidence-based guidelines and presented them in a uniform and accessible format. It has been designed and written so that locating information is both quick and simple, and the layout of the chapters allows the reader to identify and assimilate information rapidly.
